Places With Poor GPS Coverage
• Location information may not be recorded, or inaccurate information may
be recorded where GPS signal coverage is poor, such as in the following
places.
● Indoors ● underground ● near buildings or in valleys ● in tunnels or
forests ● near high-voltage power lines or mobile phones operating on the
1.5 GHz band ● inside a bag or suitcase ● under water (when the camera
is used in an optional waterproof case
great distances ● when traveling through different environments
• Even in other places, GPS satellite movement may interfere with
geotagging and cause missing or inaccurate location information, or the
information may indicate that the camera has been used elsewhere even
if it has not.
Time Required to Receive a GPS Signal
• GPS signal reception may take longer after battery replacement, or when
you have not used GPS functions for some time.
• You can shorten the time required to receive a GPS signal by using Wi-Fi
to store Assisted GPS data (information on the position of GPS satellites)
(= 44).
